Role Overview

Harvey is looking for a driven, strategic, and entrepreneurial Sales Development Manager to lead and scale our SDR team across EMEA. This will be the first dedicated SDR leadership role in the region, responsible for building a high-performing team that generates pipeline across leading law firms, professional services organizations, and in-house legal teams.

You will own hiring, onboarding, coaching, and performance management while partnering closely with Sales, Marketing, and RevOps to build a scalable pipeline generation engine. You’ll also help shape Harvey’s regional go-to-market strategy by refining targeting, messaging, and outbound programs that resonate with the European legal market.

If you’re excited by the idea of building teams, developing talent, and driving impact at a fast-growing AI company transforming legal work, we’d love to meet you.

What You'll Do

  • Own regional pipeline performance: Drive the SDR team’s contribution to pipeline generation across inbound and outbound channels, ensuring strong alignment with EMEA sales targets.

  • Build and scale the team: Hire, onboard, and develop a high-performing SDR team, helping establish the structure, operating cadence, and performance standards for the EMEA region.

  • Coach and develop SDRs: Deliver hands-on coaching through regular 1:1s, call reviews, and deal strategy sessions to accelerate rep development and performance.

  • Design onboarding and enablement: Partner with GTM enablement to create onboarding and ongoing training programs that ramp SDRs quickly and build strong product, industry, and prospecting expertise.

  • Partner cross-functionally: Collaborate closely with Sales, Marketing, and RevOps to improve lead routing, campaign effectiveness, and pipeline conversion.

  • Refine targeting and messaging: Continuously test and improve outbound strategies, messaging, and account targeting based on ICP fit and performance insights.

  • Leverage data and tools: Use platforms such as Salesforce, Salesloft, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Gong, and ZoomInfo to track team performance and optimize workflows.

  • Build a strong team culture: Foster a high-performance culture grounded in ownership, learning, and collaboration.


What You Have

  • 4+ years of experience in SaaS sales or business development, with at least 1–2 years of direct SDR or BDR leadership experience.

  • Proven success in building and managing pipeline-generating teams in a high-growth, outbound-focused environment.

  • Deep understanding of modern sales development tools (e.g., Salesforce, Salesloft, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Gong).

  • A data-driven mindset with the ability to analyze team performance, uncover insights, and iterate quickly.

  • Experience building SDR processes from scratch—comfortable in ambiguity and excited to be the architect of something new.

  • A coaching-first leadership style: you invest in people, celebrate wins, and hold high standards with care.

  • Excellent communication skills and executive presence—both internally and externally.

  • Passion for AI, innovation, and the transformation of knowledge work—especially in professional services and legal.

  • Influence tech stack - develop recommendations and drive implementation

  • Prior experience selling into legal or professional services firms is a plus but not required.
